10 Symptoms of Turner Syndrome

3. Abnormal Menstruation

Most female children reach puberty between the ages of 10 and 15, but girls with Turner syndrome typically never begin menstruation or go through the regular developments of puberty. Some Turner syndrome patients may start menstruation, but only experience a few years of cycles before it ends. It is rare for females with Turner syndrome go through all of the stages of puberty, including breast and hip development. This problem can be corrected or improved with hormone therapy such as estrogen-replacement treatments, which can mimic the natural hormones of the female body.
